Default Firefox (FF) 8.0 Is This Normal?

Is this normal?



Themes/Addons/Plugins

NASA Night Launch Theme;
Adblock Plus 1.3.10;
Avast Webrip 6.0.1367;
Download Statusbar 0.9.10;
English (Australia) Dictionary 2.1.2;
Noscript 2.2.3;
Yontoo 1.20.00 (wtf that is);
Adobe Acrobat;
ESN Launch Mozilla Plugin (wtf that is);
ESN Sonar API (wtf that is);
iTunes Application Detector;
Java Deployment Kit;
Java(TM) Platform SE6U 29;
Microsoft Office 2010;
Nvidia 3D Vision;
Quicktime Plugin;
Shockwave Flash; and
Shockwave for Director.

Operating System: Win7 Home Premium x64

Hardware isn't very old and pretty good as far as I'm concerned but open to any suggestions 'can post specs if needed'.

Additional:

Origin wasn't running at the time if that makes any difference.

Curious, 'most people seem to run some if not most of the above on their system', how much sys resource does your (FF), run and where would you expect it to sit on average?

Cheers,

How much memory is in your system?

P.s Opera is at 477,000 with 9 tabs (2 are PDF's) & it's mail server running....I have 8gb so it's of no concern.

8gig here as well. I thought maybe I'd be able to fix something and it would run better as it has been crashing quite a bit lately.

Its not about don't like, I was more curious if it was the norm.

In other news it seems my sister downloaded all kinds of crap toolbars etc so I'm just going to format and start again.
